THIS IS YOUR TOOL, NOT YOUR PARENTS' FocusWing is the only focus timer that actually respects teen privacy. No blocking. No spyware. No surveillance. Just you building real focus habits—on your terms. HOW IT WORKS (IN 30 SECONDS) - Open the app, say what you are focusing on ("math homework," "study for bio test"), pick 20 or 30 minutes - Put your phone face-down. If you pick it up, the timer pauses. No penalty—just no fake focus time - Only real, face-down focus counts. You either focus or the timer does not run. It is that honest - See your streaks, progress, and earned minutes. Share with your parents if you want—or do not TEENS: HERE IS WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT - One hundred percent free. No ads, no limited features, no subscription. Ever. - We literally cannot spy on you. We don't track your apps, messages, browsing, or location. Our technology doesn't allow it. - You are in control. If your parent wants to see your focus minutes, they need a code from you. You choose what (if anything) to share. Revoke it anytime. - No shame, just data. Pick up your phone? Timer pauses. No judgment. Come back and finish when you are ready. PARENTS: IF YOU ARE READING THIS We built FocusWing because we were tired of being the phone police. Our daughter Jacqueline was taking 3 hours to do 30 minutes of homework. Screen time limits turned into daily fights. Nothing worked—until she had a tool that made her want to focus. THIS IS NOT A PARENTAL CONTROL APP We don't block apps. We don't monitor activity. We don't read messages. That would destroy trust. Instead: - Jacqueline uses FocusWing for free. She builds awareness of her own focus habits - If she wants to share progress, she gives you a code. You can't request it—she initiates it - You see only what she chooses: Total focus minutes, active days, streaks, weekly summaries - You never see: Apps used, websites visited, messages, screen activity, or what she is working on - Code expires in 7 days. She must actively re-share, keeping her in control WHAT YOU WILL SEE WHEN SHE SHARES Example: "Jacqueline focused for 45 minutes this week. She was active 5 days and is on a 3-day streak. Yesterday she worked on homework for 8 minutes." That is it. No surveillance. Just enough insight to stop the nagging and start the conversations. KEY FEATURES - Face-down detection - Timer only runs when phone is face-down. Cannot be faked - Teen-controlled sharing - Parents see only what teens want to share - Privacy-first architecture - We do not collect data we could share even if we wanted to - Progress tracking - Streaks, active days, weekly summaries - One hundred percent free for teens - No ads, no subscriptions, no catches - Up to 3 teens - One parent account ($4.99 per week) can connect multiple teens HOW TO GET STARTED For Teens: - Download for free. Start a session. Put your phone face-down. That is it. For Parents: - Download the app (optional—you can also just use the website) - Ask your teen to share their progress (or subscribe to Parent Access for $4.99 per week if they haven't shared yet) - Enter the 6-digit code they give you - View their progress and start having real conversations about focus QUESTIONS? Email us at support@focuswing.org. We actually read every message.
